MedlinePlus:38 Each year over a million people in the u.s. have a heart attack. about half of them die. many people have permanent heart damage or die because they don't get help immediately. it's important to know the symptoms of a heart attack and call 9-1-1 if someone is having them. those symptoms include
chest discomfort - pressure, squeezing, or pain
shortness of breath
discomfort in the upper body - arms, shoulder, neck, back
nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lightheadedness, sweating
these symptoms can sometimes be different in women.
what exactly is a heart attack? most heart attacks happen when a clot in the coronary artery blocks the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. often this leads to an irregular heartbeat - called an arrhythmia - that causes a severe decrease in the pumping function of the heart. a blockage that is not treated within a few hours causes the affected heart muscle to die.
